What is the recommended Wi-Fi channel range for Apple devices
Apple recommends that you use channels that are available for use in your country. In New Zealand, these channels are 1-11 for a standard 2.4 Ghz wireless connection with the bandwidth setting of 20 Mhz.
For a 5 Ghz wireless connection it is best to leave the channel selection on your wireless router to Auto.
